Britons Believe Country Was Happier and
Safer 50 Years Ago
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 11/14/2025 3:38:01 PM
A large worldwide poll has found Britons to be one of the most dissatisfied nations with 50 years of ‘progress’, with a majority saying they believe people were happier and safer last century, and a plurality even saying they wish they’d been born long ago. Most Britons think the country was happier 50 years ago, pollster Ipsos finds, with only a fleeting minority thinking things are better now. Some 63 per cent in the UK said they agreed with the statement “All things considered, how would you describe things in your country today, compared with 50 years

The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic.
Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools,
For most teachers, they enter the profession not as a job, but as a calling. They love kids and want to be part of educating the next generation. They certainly don't do it for the money. Those who are not teachers but support staff also do what they do because they believe that education will take students wherever they want to go in life. Millions of taxpayer dollars go toward public education. Are those dollars being spent wisely? In one major city, that answer is most likely "no." On Wednesday, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for Chicago Public Schools (CPS) released an eye-opening report on travel
Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed that she had to conform to white beauty standards during an interview for her new fashion book, “The Look.” Former President Barack Obama’s wife said she felt obligated to keep her hair straight during her tenure in the White House in a conversation with actress Tracee Ellis Ross. She blamed white people for the “exhausting” beauty standards she felt she had to upkeep while she was in the spotlight. Reflecting on her childhood, she told Ellis black people need to know how to present themselves because “how you present can sometimes save your life.”

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer said Friday that federal prison workers were fired for allegedly leaking her client's emails to Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin.
Maxwell, associate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein who is serving her 20-year prison sentence for grooming and sexually abusing young women, wrote emails that were leaked about the improved conditions at her current prison in Texas, after being moved from another prison in Florida, the New York Post reported.
Maxwell's attorney, Leah Saffian, criticized Raskin, the House Judiciary Committee ranking member, for the alleged publication of her client's emails.

President of the Boston University (BU) College Republicans, Zac Segal, was targeted by classmates after giving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a tip that reportedly led to the arrest of nine allegedly illegal immigrants, according to social media posts. Zac Segal reposted screenshots on X from various Instagram accounts, including the Back Bay Young Democratic Socialists (BBYDSA), showing fliers referring to Segal as “racist and fascist.” “We are requesting information pertaining to the BU neo-Nazi by the name of Zac Segal,” one collaborative Instagram post reads, while sharing several pictures of his face. It is unclear if the post was made by a student at the university.

If you think back to this time last year, we were happily ensconced in post-election bliss and eagerly watching as President-elect Donald Trump began the transition to his second term in office. It was something to behold because Trump immediately became the de facto president as his lame duck predecessor quickly faded away into irrelevancy. Weak leaders like Joe Biden create a power vacuum (see also: the Democrat Party circa 2025). The commonwealth of Virginia does not have such a problem at the moment, and Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin would like Democrats, and particularly Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger, to kindly butt out of his business.
Michigan’s defiant Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has been in the news after she refused the DOJ’s demands to turn over unredacted voter rolls. The term-limited secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, whose 2026 campaign for governor is being funded in large part by members of George Soros’s family, cites the need to protect voters’ US Social Security numbers from the federal government that literally issues the Social Security numbers. And finally, another reason Jocelyn Benson doesn’t want the DOJ to investigate Michigan’s voter rolls is that, given the many ways elections are stolen, the DOJ is likely to discover that Michigan’s voter rolls are among the most corrupt
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is reportedly considering a run for California governor — a possible foil to frontrunner Katie Porter.
Two anonymous sources close to the congressman told MSNBC that he has been considering a play for the Golden State governor’s mansion with a possible announcement as early as next week.
“Swalwell declined to comment when reached by MSNBC, but a source close to the congressman, who asked to remain anonymous to discuss the private discussions, said Swalwell allies had asked him to run ‘to fill a “fighter/protector” role’ in the mold of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom,”

The Trump administration is reportedly expected to send immigration officials to Charlotte, North Carolina, for its next crackdown as early as Saturday, according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's office.
The Trump administration has been cracking down on violent crime and illegal immigration nationwide in recent months, with National Guard troops deployed in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Memphis and Los Angeles while immigration officials carried out raids. It has also tried to deploy troops in Portland, but has been blocked by courts so far.
Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden said on Thursday that he was notified by two federal officials who said Customs and Border Patrol personnel will be arriving
You've heard of biting off your nose to spite your face, but what about biting off taxpayers' noses because you don't like someone else?
Chicago City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin announced Wednesday that she will refuse to invest taxpayer money in the safest, most secure, most loss-proof investment in world history: U.S. Treasuries. She told aldermen that it's a way to push back on “the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump.” I'm sure she'll push back on Trump just as soon as Chicago buys U.S. Treasuries. The city currently doesn't own any. “I’m going to use that voice that our citizens gave me to say loud and clear to Donald Trump:

What kind of US president demolishes a cherished piece of American history in order to build a shrine to himself? That’s what many Chicagoans are asking — and they aren’t talking about President Trump’s East Wing demolition to make way for a White House ballroom. Locals are still trying to make sense of the $850 million Obama Presidential Center, dubbed “The Obamalisk,” which broke ground in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park in 2021 and will be finished next Spring. “Obama, of all people, should not be building a palace for himself, a fortress in the middle of a public park. It’s just contrary to what I thought he believed in,”

Michelle Obama Is an Insufferable Racist
30 replies
Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that
Ford has been unable to fill some 5,000 openings for mechanics despite offering a salary of $120,000 a year — prompting the company’s chief executive to warn of a dire shortage of skilled tradespeople in the US.
“We are in trouble in our country. We are not talking about this enough,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said on an episode of the “Office Hours: Business Edition” podcast published earlier this week.
“We have over a million openings in critical jobs, emergency services, trucking, factory workers, plumbers, electricians and tradesmen.” [snip] “We do not have trade schools,” he fumed.
Earlier this year, Ford rolled out a $4 million initiative to fund scholarship for auto technicians.
A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral is scheduled to take place Nov. 20 at Washington National Cathedral. “Vice President Cheney devoted decades of his life to public service at the highest levels of government,” said the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral, in a statement. “His life was marked by deep dedication to his family and to the country he served,” he continued. The funeral service is slated to take place Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. EST. Tributes will be delivered by former President George W. Bush; Cheney’s daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.);
President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and accusing the Georgia Republican of "complaining" instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s "record achievements."
The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections.
Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."
This is one of the most depraved things we've ever seen. But given the state of the American Left and its antisemitic, anti-Israel stance, it's not surprising.
There's an off-Broadway show called Slam Frank, and it wants audiences to keep their mouths shut about the last 20 minutes of the show. [Tweet]
Why?
Well, here's why:
The New York based off-broadway show, titled Slam Frank – with the largely non-Jewish cast singing and dancing while wearing yellow Stars of David, is marketed as a musical satire,

Hunter Biden needs to go away. He won’t, but give it a rest, man. You and your family are done in professional politics. You are sure as hell aren’t going to be elected to anything. Your dad drools in his soup. And your laptop is what opened Pandora’s box into your family’s alleged government access shenanigans. It was the roadmap. Then, daddy started to fall apart—and his own party booted him off the ticket because he was going to get slaughtered by Donald Trump in 2024.
During his sit-down on the Wide Awake Podcast, Hunter went off on Miranda Devine, one of the reporters at The New York Post,
While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.
Indiana voters should be furious.
In a state Trump carried by 19 points, where Republicans hold a supermajority in both chambers, redistricting should have been a slam dunk to secure the 2026 midterms.
Instead, five weak-kneed RINOs tried to sabotage the redistricting vote, collapse the GOP strategy, and block a legitimate effort to strengthen Indiana’s congressional delegation against the Democrats’ national gerrymandering machine.
According to the AP, Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced Friday that the chamber will not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting, after months of pressure from President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and even Gov. Mike Braun.
Why? Because these so-called Republicans refused to support it.
NEW YORK -- Central Park’s iconic horse-drawn carriages will trot on, for now. A proposal to ban the popular tourist attractions that have been fixtures in Central Park for more than 150 years failed to clear a key New York City Council committee on Friday. (Snip) “They are hardworking immigrants who take good care of their horses, and have consistently been attacked and slandered by monied interests who care nothing about animal welfare,” John Samuelsen, the union’s president, said in a statement. But animal rights advocates who have long called for ending the industry, derided the vote as a “sham”
Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell threatened investigators after NBC News reported that he had been criminally referred to the Justice Department.
Federal Housing regulator Bill Pulte referred Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution over mortgage fraud.
According to NBC News, Pulte is alleging that Swalwell, a Democrat Congressman representing a district in California, took out millions of dollars worth of mortgage loans based on his declaring his primary residence as Washington, DC. (Snip) Swalwell, of Fang Fang fame, lashed out at Trump and threatened investigators during an appearance on MSNBC.
“When we are the majority, we will have subpoena power and accountability will happen.
